Kinda sucks that it's limited to Vaios though. Makes the feature useless to those that use custom rigs like me.
Though this does imply the probability of an official DS3 driver for Windows being designed for the Vaios, which would be nice for any PC owners that want to use a DS3 on their PC without tracking down drivers from Hong Kong.
